Protoss

A race in Blizzard Entertainment's popular PC real-time-strategy game, StarCraft. Main plotline attributes:

• Very advanced, relying mainly on Psi and powerful cybernetic technology.
• Main opponents of the Zerg.
• Religious; for example, the basic military unit is the Zealot. The Protoss follow a strict code known as the Khala.

Gameplay attributes:

• High cost per unit produced
• High unit power
• Very powerful spells (the Psi Storm is often referred to as the "most powerful damaging spell in the game.")
• Only race with "shields". All Protoss units (including buildings) have shields; when damaged, shields regenerate over time, even faster than Zerg units heal. Shields, however, always take full damage (whereas a target without shields might not take full damage, depending on the damage type and size of the target.) Shields are instantly drained by the Terran Science Vessel's EMP spell.
• Fastest building method, moderate building location restrictions
